Description

DETAILED DESCRIPTION OF THE INVENTION The present invention relates to a drainer used to remove water from floors, glass surfaces, etc.

A draining tool made of a rubber or soft plastic plate used for removing water left on a floor surface after cleaning or adhering to a glass surface, etc. In addition, a device in which a single strip-shaped draining plate is fixed to a holder is known.

When using this conventional draining tool to remove water from a floor, etc., if the angle of the draining plate with respect to the floor is not appropriate, the area of the draining plate that comes into contact with the floor, etc. will increase, and the friction with the floor will increase. There are problems such as the draining tool not moving smoothly, and the curved draining board bouncing due to its repulsive elasticity, causing the draining tool to fly and move, leaving some of the water behind.

A drainer disclosed in Japanese Utility Model Application Publication No. 56-6337 is also known.

This draining tool has a groove provided along the entire length of one end surface of a slightly thick rubber plate, a pair of thin plate-shaped draining parts spaced apart from each other at the end of the rubber plate, and the end of a rod-shaped handle. a receiving plate fixed to the
The other end of the rubber plate is held between a holding plate that is separably attached to this receiving plate with machine screws.

This drainer removes water from the floor etc. with a pair of draining parts, so it can remove water relatively without leaving any water behind.

However, since the grooves are provided at the ends of the rubber plate and the pair of draining portions are integrally formed, there is a problem in that the manufacturing cost of the rubber plate increases. In addition, the end of this rubber plate is held between a receiving plate and a holding plate, and the part of the rubber plate that can be elastically deformed during use is
Almost only the draining part is relatively short and has strong elasticity, so when used, the draining part tends to bounce due to its repulsive elasticity, and the entire drainer flies off, making it difficult to use and causing some of the water to evaporate. There are problems such as remaining.

The present invention solves the above-mentioned problems by simplifying the structure of the draining board made of rubber or soft plastic, and allowing smooth movement of the floor etc. to remove almost all of the water. The purpose of this invention is to create a colander that can drain water.

The draining tool of the present invention has a metal plate folded in half into a U-shape or the like, each of its opposing walls being formed into a flat plate, and equipped with holders spaced apart from each other across these opposing walls. Alternatively, one soft plastic plate is folded in half to approximately the same length, and the ends of the continuous part side of a pair of parallel draining plates spaced apart are placed in the holder. A linear pressing member is inserted along the opposing wall, and is stacked on the inside of the continuous portion of the pair of draining plates, and the holder is folded at a V-shaped cut or the like provided on the opposing wall of the holder. A plurality of cut and raised pieces are provided whose ends on the curved side are integrated with the holder, and each cut and raised piece that passes through one draining plate and is bent inward of the holder is used to press the presser. By pressurizing the member, a pair of draining plates are fixed to the holder, and the draining plate located on the side in the direction of movement bends along its entire length, and the part of the draining plate on the opposite side to the direction of movement bends at the part protruding from the holder. It is characterized by

This drainer removes water from the floor by moving in the same direction as the pair of draining plates.

The pair of draining plates are attached at their continuous ends to the inside of the pair of opposing walls of the holder, and are spaced apart substantially over the entirety of each draining plate,
When in use, the draining plate on the traveling direction side bends over almost its entire length, including the part that enters the holder, so it can be bent easily. However, since the part of the draining plate on the opposite side of the traveling direction that overlaps with the holder is supported by each opposing wall of the holder, only the part that protrudes from the holder bends, and the part of the draining plate on the opposite side of the traveling direction bends. It also becomes difficult to bend.

Therefore, even if the draining plate in the traveling direction, which can be easily and largely bent, bends, its end is supported by the draining plate on the opposite side to the traveling direction. The board does not bend more than necessary, and the contact area between the draining board and the floor in the direction of movement can be kept small.
The friction becomes smaller, and the rebound resilience also becomes smaller.

An embodiment of the drainer of the present invention will be described with reference to the drawings.

In the figure, 1 is an inverted U cross section formed by a metal plate.
The letter-shaped holders 2A and 2B are a pair of draining plates of approximately the same length that are provided parallel to each other at intervals along the entire length, and these are made by folding a single plate of rubber or soft plastic into two. Constructed in one piece,
The end portion on the continuous portion side is inserted into the holder 1. The draining plates 2A, 2B are aligned along the inner surface of each opposing wall of the holder 1 with their elasticity, and are spaced from each other over almost the entirety of the draining plates 2A, 2B.

3 is a linear holding member made of metal or the like which is stacked inside the continuous portion of the draining plates 2A and 2B; 4 is a plurality of cuts formed by cutting a part of the holder 1 in a V-shape or the like; The raised pieces are integral with the holder 1 at their ends on the bent side of the holder 1. Then, each cut and raised piece 4 is bent inside the holder 1, and the insertion hole 10 provided in the draining plate 2B is
through it, press the presser member 3, and remove the draining plate 2.
A and 2B are fixed to holder 1.

Reference numeral 5 denotes a mounting body provided on the outer surface of the bent portion of the holder 1, which has a U-shaped cross section and is fixed to the holder 1 at each tip of its opposing wall. Reference numeral 6 denotes support pieces formed in two rows on the upper wall of the mounting body 5. These support pieces are made by cutting and raising a part of the mounting body 5 and bending it into an L-shaped section. It is configured so that the side is open.

7 is a rod-shaped handle; 8 is a holder having a concave cross section fixed to the end of the handle 7; each insertion wall 9 is provided at the tip of each opposing wall by being bent inward;
is inserted into each support piece 6 in a locking manner, and the holding body 8
A handle 7 is attached to the mounting body 5 via. The handle 7 can be attached to the holder 1 in any manner such as directly fixing the holder 8 to the holder 1.

For example, removing water from the floor using this drainer,
Water is removed by pushing the draining plates 2A, 2B forward through the handle 7 while lightly pressing them against the floor surface, or by pulling them toward you.

For example, when this drainer is pushed forward and used, both sides of the drainer plates 2A and 2B are bent. The tip of the curved draining plates 2A, 2B is supported by the draining plate 2B, and since the draining plates 2A, 2B are located inside the holder 1 and are spaced almost entirely therebetween, The draining plate 2A located on the traveling direction side bends over almost its entire length, as shown by the chain line in FIG. 2, so it bends easily.
However, since the draining plate 2B on the opposite side to the traveling direction is supported by the opposite wall of the holder 1, only the short portion protruding from the holder 1 is bent, as shown by the chain line in FIG. Harder to bend than plate 2A.

Since this draining plate 2B, which is slightly difficult to bend, supports the end of the draining plate 2A, the draining plate 2A
The draining plate 2B prevents the draining plate 2A from bending arbitrarily, thereby reducing the amount of bending of the draining plate 2A.

Therefore, as is clear from the chain line in FIG. 2, the portion of the tip of the draining plate 2A that contacts the floor surface becomes relatively small, the friction with the floor is reduced, and the amount of bending of the draining plate 2A is reduced. Because it is small and its repulsion elasticity is small, it is possible to always move the draining tool smoothly, and the draining plate 2A does not move while bouncing due to its repulsion elasticity or the frictional force with the floor, etc. water can be easily and reliably removed.

If you use the drainer with it pulled toward you,
The draining plate 2B becomes easier to bend, and the edge thereof is supported by the draining plate 2A.

In this embodiment, the holder 1 has an inverted U cross section.
Although it is formed in a letter shape, it is also possible to make it into a V shape or a concave shape.

As mentioned above, the draining device of the present invention is constructed by folding a single plate made of rubber or soft plastic into two to form a pair of parallel draining plates. is simple and easy to reduce costs,
It is also easy to change the length of the pair of draining plates.

The pair of draining plates folded in two are inserted into a holder in which the end on the continuous side side has an inverted U-shape in cross section, and each opposing wall is formed into a long flat plate. and a linear presser member overlapped with the inner surface of the continuous portion of the draining plate, a cutting and raising piece provided integrally with the holder is bent inward of the holder,
Pressure the pressing member with these cut and raised pieces,
Since the draining plate is fixed to the holder, the draining plate can be easily and efficiently fixed to the holder.

Further, since the continuous portion of the pair of draining plates is held down and the draining plates are fixed to the holder, each of the pair of draining plates can be bent along almost its entire length toward the inside of the holder. However, since the facing wall of the holder supports each draining plate in the outward direction of the holder, only the tip of the draining plate protruding from the holder bends, and it is difficult to bend compared to the draining plate on the advancing direction side. .

Therefore, when in use, the tip of the draining plate that bends over almost its entire length on the moving direction side is supported by the tip of the other draining plate, which is slightly less bendable, so that the draining plate on the moving direction side can be bent arbitrarily. regulate,
Reduce the amount of bending. As a result, the contact area of the draining plate on the advancing direction side with the floor surface becomes smaller, so the friction with the floor surface becomes smaller, and it is possible to always move the drainer smoothly.

Moreover, as mentioned above, the amount of bending of the draining board on the traveling direction side is regulated to be small, and its rebound resilience is small, so when in use, the draining board bounces due to the friction with the floor surface and the rebound resilience. become,
This also solves problems such as the draining tool flying around, leaving some water behind, and making it difficult to use.
